Neymar can be part of another celebrated forward trident at Paris Saint-Germain according to former Brazil defender Alex.

The 25-year-old left Barcelona in a world-record EUR222million deal last week, bringing an end to his alliance with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

PSG travel to Guingamp on Sunday and Alex - who represented the capital club between 2012 and 2014 - feels a front line of Neymar, Angel Di Maria and prolific striker Edinson Cavani is unlikely to be any more enjoyable for opposition defences than facing 'MSN'.

"We know there are other players in the squad fighting for a place, but I think at first they will play with those three up front," he told Omnisport.

"I wouldn't want to be a defender trying to stop a trio like that. They're going to cause a lot of trouble. But it will be awesome for the people who like football and like to watch football.

"You see Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG ... big teams, in decisive games, It's going to be hard for the defenders, I don't want to be in their situation."
